[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 10/35] lib/intel_allocator_msgchannel: Scale to 4k of parallel clients

[Zbigniew Kempczyński]

When playing with multiprocess mode in allocator we're currently
using sysvipc message queues in blocking mode (request/response).
We can calculate then what is maximum depth for the queue for
requested number of children. Change alters kernel queue depth
to cover 4k users (1 is main thread and 4095 are children).

We're still prone to unlimited wait in allocator thread
(more than 4095 children successfully send the messages)
but we're going to address this later.
